I don't know if anybody would be interested, but here is a little script that I wrote for Ice, that creates a "Trash" can on the desktop. It could easily be made to work in other window managers though. It is manual intallation only at the time. I got the trash icons from Knoppix. Here is a screen shot of how it looks.

EDIT
In the README file I forgot to mention that you need to create a symlink of /root/my-applications/bin/empty-trash and place it in /usr/local/bin
I fixed it.

It is not slow on my system. It is pretty instantaneous, although Rox doesn't update until after you mouse over the Rox window. It's just a simple script (my first shell script btw). It just checks to see if you have included a file or directory when activating the script. If there is a file or directory it moves it to the trash. If no file or directory it simply opens up the trash file in Rox.

Have you even tried it? grab a file from rox-filer and drag it onto the icon and it goes to the trash, just like you'd expect.

SendTo is not working for me yet but it should work, I must have screwed up somewhere. (EDIT: I had and it now works)

Anyone knows of a clever way that you could get the "empty trahscan" choice if you right click on the trashcan rather than use the quicklaunch?

By the way, I did verify that if you put the png icon in the icewm path, and specify the png extension in the quicklaunch menu (the toolbar file), it gets dispayed properly and gets resized. Minor savins, but everything counts.

As part of adding this to an unleashed, I think the following paths make sense:
scripts in /usr/X11R6/bin
png icon in /usr/local/share/icewm/icons
modify toolabr file in /usr/local/share/icewm/toolbar
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/empty-trash /usr/local/bin/empty-trash
ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/Trash /root/Choices/SendTo/Trash_________________Mandriva LE 2005 user and puppy newbie

it's trivially easy to add Empty Trash to the context menu of the trash icon, if you make it a roxapp

the roxapp will have the icon in it too

you can run a roxapp from a menu, and link to the icon inside it (or the icon inside it can be a symlink if you like)

see my aterm dotpup (or aumix or eboard or mplayer or xmms) to see how to add context menus to a roxapp (right click the icon and click Look Inside ... the context menu is in AppInfo.xml ) ... and read the rox docs

Ok, here it is. This is a Rox App version of Trash. I did not include the IceWM Quick Launch Menu or the empty-trash script since you can now right click on the trash icon and select "Empty the Trash". Just unzip it, put it where you want, and drag it to your desktop. I will also make a zip file of the icons and the empty-trash script for those who may want them. Only one icon is included and it sets itself. Thanks to GuestToo for his words of wisdom.
EDIT You will also need to create /root/.Trash if you do not already have it.
